Last night's talk re sisters wearing head covering, puke making!
by purrpurr indear sisters,.
when you are fortunate enough to be in the presence of a jw penis you must take care to show the proper respect for it!
doesn't matter if said penis is prepubescent!

It was even heavily suggested that even when the said penis is not baptised or an unbaptised pub, that even then the sister may want to cover her head to show respect... And we all know what it means when something is heavily suggested don't we? -

Dear sisters,
When you are fortunate enough to be in the presence of a jw penis you must take care to show the proper respect for it! Doesn't matter if said penis is prepubescent! No no! You are a lowly female and therefore must wear a head covering to show respect to the penis. All hail the mighty penis! Doesn't matter if your Bible study is going to think you are utterly nuts and a throw back to the dark ages when you get out your headscarf and wind it round your head. Showing deference to the penis is more important than not scaring off your Bible study! How happy you are dear sisters to have the opportunity to show respect to the penis of your brothers!
Sincerely, the Borg (the most important penis of them all)
... Anyway that was the gist of the talk last night, I got the distinct impression that even the brother giving the talk was uncomfortable with the subject matter. None of the sisters looked happy either. I was fighting off an urge to stand up and start screaming! I wonder how many other sisters were too?

Lame and werid sample presentations at the meeting
by purrpurr inthey used to let bro's and sis's do the sample presentation and give them the leeway to put it in their own words thereby making it more natural.
not so anymore!
these days the sample presentations are beamed from mother website.. they seem to have been written by someone who has no experience of how people talk in real life.

They seem to have been written by someone who has no experience of how people talk in real life. The wording is strange and weird? If I was a householder and heard this it would be sounding major alarm bells for me. It makes the jw sound like a bizzare brain washed cult member! Seriously do the GB really think that this will help?!
And of course the householder is always so interested!! And always asks the right questions (!) Which never happens in real life either. I was looking around the hall as it was being shown and it was quite clear that not even the audience in the hall found the presentation interesting!
Does anyone else think that these presentation ideas are bizzare? I guess it's for the best in a way, the more weird a jw sounds on the doorstep the more likely the householder will be to tell the where to go.

Twilight and other banned media
by purrpurr inthanks to online media of movies and books i've recently been watching the twilight series.
issues of quality aside i enjoyed it enough.
i mostly wanted to see what the fuss was about and have the fun of seeing a movie that was banned from the platform when it came out.

Apathy carts in NoCal
by kaik ini spent couple wonderful days in napa valley and sonoma with visits to san francisco.
what hits me was the number of apathy carts in the city.
they were at powell station, embarcadero, fisherman wharf, etc.

In my cong the apathy cart is placed outside the hall... on a road where no one ever walks past! So the jws just stand there chatting and drinking tea.
What a fine witness (!)

I've also been watching the hunger games(loved it) and the divergent series.
Any recommendations of further banned movies and books?
P's. Team Jacob, Edward Cullen is an abusive asshole

Banned from the second school!
by purrpurr ini've been told by a jw friend that when her hall recently had a refurb that big changes were made to the second school.. one, a large sign has been placed on the door telling people not to use it and to sit in the main hall itself.. two,that all the chairs which used to face the large windows looking into the main hall are now side on to the window facing the wall instead.. this is because "so many people were sitting out in there!
people were finding all manner of exhuses to sit-in there and the brothers want us to all be together in the main hall!
" she said.. of course i didn't tell her what i really thought of this but seriously?

Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems this is a new policy, it seems to me that the harder they oppress the flock like this the more people will rebel and stay at home listening in instead.
Where will all the anxious, germ and fragrance phobic go now? What about the df'd ones and the children who are just being children go?
Frankly little short of dragging the flock out of their houses and making them sit in the main hall at gun point I don't see how they will make this work?

My parents haven't been to a meeting for a year now....
by purrpurr innow don't get me wrong, they still consider themselves jw's.
but they seem to be plagued with ill health... especially on meeting days?
they are very depressed about it of course and moan about how much they would like to be at the hall.

Fadetoblack, they do go out alot and even work. Recreation wise they are very active yet somehow ... Somehow always too I'll to attend the meetings?
I don't believe this is a conscious decision to avoid the meetings, I don't think they are even aware that they are trying to avoid going. And they do seem to really get ill on meeting days?
I'm wondering if it's their subconscious making them ill so that they don't have to go? Has anyone else encountered this?
